Spatial econometrics
Nývltová, Veronika ; Pawlas, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Kopa, Miloš (referee)
This thesis is devoted to the models that are suitable for modelling spatial data. For this purpose, random fields with finite index set are used. Based on the neighbourhood relationship a spatial weight matrix is introduced which describes spatial dependencies. A recognition and testing of spatial dependence is mentioned and it is applied for macroeconomic indicators in the Czech Republic. Spatial models originated from generalization of usual time series models are subsequently combined with linear regression models. The parameter estimators are derived for selected models by three different methods. These methods are ordinary least squares, maximum likelihood and method of moments. Theoretical asymptotic results are supplemented by a simulation study that examines the performance of estimators for finite sample size. Finally, a short illustration on real data is demonstrated.

Macroeconomic Analysis with Spatial Econometric Approaches
Macková, Simona ; Formánek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Tomanová, Petra (referee)
Spatial econometrics can bring a useful approach to macroeconomic analysis of regional data. This thesis delineates suitable cross-section data models regarding their geographical location. Neighbourhood relation is used for the analysis. The relation of neighbourhood among the regions is expressed using spatial weight matrix. We focus on spatial autocorrelation tests and introduce processes of finding a suitable spatial model. Further, we describe regression coefficients estimates and estimates of spatial dependence coefficients, especially method of maximum likelihood estimates. Besides illustrative examples we apply chosen basic spatial models on real macroeconomic data. We examine how they describe relation between household incomes, GDP and unemployment rate in western Europe. Results are compared with a linear regression model.
